It will NOT happen for normal files, nor for folders w/custom icons! What I've seen (and perhaps what the original poster was referring to) is that if you have "show version" turned on in your 7.0 Views Control Panel, then all of the files will be uncompressed when they are viewed in any non-icon view. I don't recall seeing this mentioned in the documentation. -phil -- Phil Shapiro Software Engineer Language Products Group Symantec Corporation Internet: phils@cs.brandeis.edu
